Don't be modest mate, 30 seconds is nothing to be ashamed of, I think your in there!

Insert removable disk!
Well as long as you think that I guess I must be!

On a different note you seem like a nice guy, actually talk a bit of sense on this forum which is more than most

Cheers mate, likewise! Have very little hope in Mcgeady if I'm honest, to many false dawns with the kid over the year hope he proves me wrong!

Get on the Howard is gash train mate, the market is bearish at the mo but the outlook is good!
 
I still think McGeady will come good, he's shown glimpses but whether or not he is consistent remains to be seen. My main problem with Howard is his inability to command his area
 
Gif replies have their place, however, in the Everton forum, we would appreciate it if you refrain from using gifs, and you know, use your words......

(plus we are within our right to hand out an infraction for off-topic).

Please consider this when posting in the Everton forum. Thanks.

What sort of 'punishments' can be dished out - short of being banned?

And what sort of things do they get dished out for?

I do love a good gif.

Well, an infraction carries a point value. When you hit a certain level, the system automatically bans.

We don't like giving them out, and would prefer the dialogue and friendly reminders. Like I said, gifs have their place, lets just keep them out of the Everton forum (go to the alehouse, that would be a more appropriate place).

Cheers.
 

He is a good player. Tricky feet, glides across the front of the box, can pick a pass, but just lacks a quality cross. He is good no doubt about it. RM will get him to fit in well.
 
If he was a bit more productive (especially in terms of goal scoring) he'd be worth 20m+

Still a very good player though and I expect him to thrive this season. There's not many players better than Geads with the ball at their feet in the Premier League

Why is this ?

GIFs are often just as effective a way as communicating as words, and from what i've seen most users like them. Why stop people using something most people seem to enjoy ?

I'd think it hurts traffic and alienates potential new members. If someone's looking for the latest news on transfers and views our transfer thread only to have to wade through 10 pages of gifs before coming across anything football related it makes us look cliquey. The ale house is there for that reason, to discuss non football related topics and post gifs etc.

That's a different argument though. If GIFs are being spammed and used to stupid levels then fair enough, but the odd one ? Be banning smileys next !

I'm not saying the rule should change, it's not my remit, i'm just wondering why that decision has been reached. Externally linked images don't take up server space so i can't see performance being an issue, and if some members are using them loads then i'd have thought the better option would be to warn/ban than to have a blanket ban on GIFs for everybody.

What about GIFs of goals, for example ?
